About the Item

An important French Louis XIV period, ebonized, sycamore, walnut, and kingwood, cross banded, floral marquetry commode applied with gilt metal mounts. The commode has a rounded rectangular top with molded brass edge, inlaid with a central floral spray of a basket of flowers flanked by birds with arabesque scrolls, acanthus leaves, insects, and grotesque masks, above three long drawers similarly inlaid. The sides of the commode are profusely inlaid with a variety of flowers issuing from vases. The commode rests on shaped bracket feet.

The commode does not bear a maker’s stamp (which was not uncommon during this period), nor has the ébéniste been conclusively identified. However, it is clear that he was a great master of the period, working in the circle of André Charles Boulle (1642-1732). There is a probability that the commode could be the work of Auburtin Gaudron, who like Boulle specialized in the most sumptuous and lavishly designed inlaid decoration.

Auburtin Gaudron

Auburtin Gaudron worked during the latter part of the seventeenth century and into the early years of the eighteenth for the Garde-Meuble de la Couronne during the reign of King Louis XIV. His workshop was in rue Saint-Honoré where he also supplied furniture to the Dauphin and Dauphine, Madame de Maintenon, the duc d’Anjou, the duc de Chartres, the prince de Condé, and other important clientele.
